Klor-con Powder


Generic Name: Potassium Chloride Powder (poe-TASS-ee-uhm KLOR-ide)
Brand Name: Examples include Gen-K and Klor-con

Klor-con Powder is used for:

Preventing or treating low blood potassium levels when the amount of potassium in the diet is inadequate. Low potassium levels may also be caused by some diseases, severe or prolonged episodes of vomiting or diarrhea, or by certain medicines (such as diuretics). Symptoms of low potassium levels include weakness, fatigue, or weakening of reflexes.

Klor-con Powder is an electrolyte that is needed for normal functioning of cells, nerve conduction, muscle contraction, kidney function, and acid-base balance.

Do NOT use Klor-con Powder if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Klor-con Powder
  • you have high potassium levels in the blood
  • you are taking a potassium-sparing diuretic (eg, triamterene)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

  • Aldosterone blockers (eg, spironolactone), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril), or potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, triamterene) because the actions and side effects of these medicines may be increased and elevated levels of potassium may occur
